In the accompanying ,drawings, Figure 1 shows our improved horn-supporting crane partly in side elevation and partly in'section,

part of the motor-box of the talkin machine and part of the horn bein shown y dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a sectiona lan view of art of the device, and Figs. 3 an 4 are views' ustratingmodifications of art of the invention.

1' represents a vertica post adapted at its lower end to a tubular guide 2, which is vertically adjustable in a socket 3, forming partof a foot 4, the latter having'a pad 5 designed to bearagainst the outside of the motor-box of the machine, as shown "in Fig. '1,and the Q tubular guide 2 beingsecured in its various positions of vertical adjustment by means of a clamp-screw 6.-

Theguide 2 has a projecting bracket 7 with pad 8 for'beari against the side, of the box, and on said bra'c et is mounted aslide 9 with downwardly-bent plate 10, forming a jaw, which pro'ects into the box and bearsag'ainst The slide 9 is slotted so as to'form a yoke,"

' which embraces the upper end of the guide 2 and forms a nut 11,- to which is adapteda screw 12, which bears u on said guide 2 and serves to adjust the sli e 9 in respect" to the same, so asto' cause the. jaw;10 to press firmly upon the inner s'ideof the box, andthus inj surev therigid attachment of the guide 2 and itS'fQOt A td'said box. The provision for vertieal ad'u'stment of the guide 2 accommodates .th device to motor boxes of difierentheights The'post'l can be rotated .in the guide 2 and can 'also be adjusted vertically therein, and

said guide 2 has at'its upper end a boss. 13, which receives a clamp-screw 14, whereby laraconstruction and receiving at its outer end an extension-arm 17, which can beprojected from the arm 16 to an desired extent and can be secured in anyo its various p0- means of a clampscrew '18, carriedby a oss ,19. at the outer end of said arm 16.- I

, Secured to the arm 16 is a-cli 20, to which is pivoted the upper end of a link 21, whose lower end is pivoted to a clip 22, vertically adjustable on the post 1 and capable of being secured thereto in any of its various positions of adjustment by means of a clamp- 3 screw 23. H v

By adjusting theclip 22 vertically on the post 1 theproecting arm 16 can be caused to assume anydesired angle in respect to the horizontal, and the outer end of the extensionarm 17 can be raised or lowered t0;'any desired extent, depending u'ponthe height of the'horn which is to be supported, said arm inresp'ectto th arm 16 provides for the support of horns of different lengthsor adapts yokes located indifferent positions throughout thelength ofthe horn. Hence the various provided adapt the crane .for

ing'motor-boxes of different sizes or proof different shapes and 'The motor-box and itssconte'nts serve as an anchor for the crane, since it will be evident that in order to tip the post 1 it will be necessa to lift the motor-box bodily, the'outer.

en or toe of the foot 4 serving as the fulcrum, and no horn such as is used in connection with a talking-machine possesses suflicient weight to accomplish this result.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the jaw 10 is rigidly secured to the bracket 7- and carries a clampscrew 12, which bears upon theinnerface of-the sideof the motor-box,

the post 1 is secured in its different positions v17 havinga depending chain 24, which car: fries the supportin -yoke 25 for the horn.

Thelongitudin'a adjustment of the arm 17 the arm'17 'for connection with supporting- 2 and in the modification shown in 'Fig. 1' a plat-e rigidly secured to the bracket 7, is fastened to the top of the box by a screw 12*. Havin thus described our invention, we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A horn-supporting crane for talkingmachines having a vertical .post, a bracket the same support as that upon which the motor-box is mounted, and the inwardlyprojecting portion'of the foot bearing upon the side of the motor-box above-the bottom of the same.

2, A horn-supporting crane for t'alkingmachines, having a vertical post, and a support therefor comprising a foot bearing upon the side of the motor-box of'the machine and roje'cting outwardly therefrom, and a brac et also bearing upon the outer side of said motor-box and supported upon the foot, said bracket having aprojecting element secured to theupper portion of the motor-box, substantially as specified.

. 3. A hornsupporting crane for talkingniachines, having a projecting post. and a support therefor'comprising a foot bearing upon the side of the motor-boxof the nachine, and projecting outwardly therefrom, and a bracket supported by and vertically adjustable on'said foot, said bracket also bearing upon the outer side ofthe motor-box and be ng provided with a projecting element secured to the upper portion of the box, substantially as specified..-

4. A horn-supporting crane for talkingmachi' s, having a vertical post, and a support therefor comprising an outwardly-proj ecting foot, a bracket supported thereon and bearing against the outer side of the motorbox oft-he machine, and a clamp-jaw adjustably mounted on said bracket, substantially as specified.

5. A horn-supporting crane for talking machines, having a vertical post, and a support therefor comprising an outwardly-projecting foot, a bracket vertically adjustable thereon and bearing against the outer side of the motor-box of the machine, and a clam jaw ad justably mounted on said bracket, substantially as specified.

6. A horn-supporting crane for talkingmachines, having a vertical post, and a sup port therefor comprising a foot. projecting outwardly from the side of the motor-box of the ma chine, and having a socket thereon, a tubular guide able in said socket, and having a bracket which bear upon the side of the motor-box, and means for securing said bracket to the upper portion of the box, substantially as specified.
